To deep center. Ells and Dustin started things off nicely with back to back 2-strike singles.

The Phillies really have a great line-up, but their pitching flat out SUCKS except for Cole Hamels. Another NL team we really don’t have to worry about.

I could be wrong here
But it seems Masterson is throwing more balls than he usually does, and getting behind in the count pretty often.

If you had to be critical of him
it’s that his pitch count has run too high too early in his games. But basically – what a start for him in the majors.

If you had to pick a player to hit .400 in this season, who would it be?
A) Chipper Jones
B) Sean Casey
C) Joba Chamberlain (because he can do it all)
I’d say B.

C. As long as it doesn't get in the way of him turning
A-Rod from anti-clutch to clutch. And teaching Jeter how to properly play SS.

The answer is obviously "C"
...unless the question is actually will they hit “exactly .400,” because Joba will hit .616, while throwing 4 no-hitters, brokering a Sabathia-for-Igawa deal, saving a little boy and a puppy trapped in a well, and transmuting Hank’s excess jowl-age into safe, abundant and costless energy for the entire world with only the power of his dazzling smile, and a Q-Tip.

My issue is that Javy's been getting outs from both sides of the plate.
So I’m not sure he needed to be pulled at the first sign of a RHB.

On a borderline pitch
That the Phillies’ announcers won’t stop talking about. And they might be right, but they’ve been on Sox hitters for taking close pitches all series, and that’s one too close to take with 2 strikes.

We could, I think
There are a lot of NL teams that would love to have Coco. I can’t really think of many relievers I would want from the NL. Jared Burton, Carlos Marmol, Renyel Pinto, Michael Wuertz, Heath Bell, Jonathan Broxton and a few others I can’t remember. Most likely, these guys are not available.
Of all the teams we could trade Coco to, the most likely is the Telecubbies. And they have some good enough relievers.
